Basketball Training Aid Review: Spalding Weighted Basketball – 3 lb.

Spalding NBA 3lb. Weighted Trainer Basketball Pricing, Info & Review

This heavy ball is a 29.5 in. weighted basketball which helps improve dribbling, passing, and extends shooting range by improving arm, wrist, and finger strength. This is meant to be used for your dribbling, shooting and passing drills and since the ball is weighted it gives your fingers, wrists, and arms a workout that you can’t get in the weight room.  This is the type of strength training that ties in directly to your game.

The trainer basketball can help all positions on the basketball court by strengthening their arm which improves the range of the shooter.  The weighted basketball also helps the dribbling skills and passing skills of all players.  Coaches from high school all the way to pro levels can easily use the training aid in their dibbling and passing exercises.   The weighted basketball can range anywhere from $35 – $50, is made of ZK Microfiber Composite Leather Cover, and bounces like a regulation basketball.

When you put the weighted ball down, it’s so much easier to use a regulation ball. You have much better control and ‘touch’ of the basketball allowing for crisper passes, stronger ball handling and smoother jump shooting.
